The civil services examination, the crème de la crème of all exams, is known as the toughest and the longest examination of the world.

Therefore it becomes very important to share my own viewpoints for the bright future of the aspiring candidates. I have observed that the kind of phobia in the mindset of students for mathematics optional. I can broadly categorize all science students specially mathematics background students who are preparing for this exam into two main categories. First category is of those students who opt mathematics as their one of the optional in this prestigious examination and the second category is of those students who do not opt this subject. I don’t have to say much about the first category of students as they are self motivate aspirants and moreover they have penchant for this subject. In fact, they are passionate and devoted for this and they can’t give ever the second thought as it seems that mathematics is in their bones…. Read More>>

I am Mani Agarwal. I scored Rank 126 in CSE 2016 with Maths as my optional subject in my second attempt. I want to thank IMS Test Series for the high marks I scored as compared to t he first attempt. Although I have done my post graduation in Maths I scored low marks in Maths last time and missed the final cutoff by a few marks. Then I joined IMS test series and it helped me a lot in understanding my mistakes. Weekly tests and answers are posted online. This gives the aspirant some flexibility.

I am Padmanabh Baruah. I graduated in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Guwahati in 2013. I started working in an MNC after my graduation and worked there for about 5 months. After that I went home and stayed for 6 months. It was during this period that I started thinking about what career option I should undertake. After much thinking and deliberation, I came to the conclusion that I would try to get into the Indian Civil Services and it was from here that my journey for Civil Services start.

I chose Mathematics because of two reasons. First, since childhood I have loved maths. Second, I did my BTech and masters in computer science but computer science is not an optional and the closest optional where I could use my knowledge of computer science was maths. Maths is a great optional and once you have covered syllabus decently, you can expect basic minimum marks of 220 which are not guaranteed in humanities optionals.
